Do you know how I can explicitlyt assign xml content to a string ? Example :
string myXml = "
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>
"
I want to do this but with a quite bigger file.I need it because I want to use it in my Unit testing but it shows lots of errors when I am trying to paste the content between the quotes.

You can parse the XML file using XPath expression, you can do XSL transformation, XSD schema validation and you can even parse whole XML file as String in just a couple of lines of code.
Use the XmlDocument class to create an XML document. Remember though that when you use CLOB datatype, you'll have to pass the value as a string. Here's a quick example that creates a simple XML document: XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); XmlNode nodeOne = doc.
You need to verbatim string literal (string which starts with @ symbol) with escaped quotes (i.e. use double "" instead of single "):
string myXml = @"
<?xml version=""1.0""?>
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>
";
Use:
string myXml = @"
<?xml version=""1.0""?>
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>
";
Or just store the XML in a file and load it into the variable at runtime using File.ReadAllText():
string myXml = File.ReadAllText("test.xml");
